We are looking forward to seeing some fast racing this weekend. The turns are looking great at the moment, make sure you transfer them into your race. Remember use the walls to pick up speed not loose speed, every millisecond counts. I know some of you have got close to your pb's in training over the last few weeks which suggests you are ready to smash the Yorkshires.

Hi All,
May I please remind you all of the expected attendance for swimmers in the Regional Squads;
9 yrs = 5/6 sessions,
10 yrs = 6 sessions
11/ 12 years = 6/7 sessions
This follows the Long Term Athlete development plan for swimming and will give you the greatest chance of successes in the future if followed.
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of swimmers not attending the required amount of sessions to keep their place in the squad. When the register is taken the amount of sessions attended by each swimmer is recorded in a spreadsheet and this information is looked at when we review swimmers places in the group. Please make staff aware if your child is ill as this will go down on the register.
If a swimmer can not attend a session for whatever reason, this should be made up where possible in the same week or in the following week by attending a different session.

Hi All,
The Welsh summer Nationals have been a fantastic competition for Leeds swimmers from when we have started to attend these championships. It is a great meet for all swimmers as they have a focus past the Regional Championships in May/June and the Leeds meet at the end of June. It is a great opportunity for swimmers to experience what it is like to be in a Team environment at an important competition and to swim fast in the summer! Please make sure that if you are in a Regional Squad and upwards that you try work your holidays around the Welsh Nationals so your child has the opportunity to swim in the most important meet of the year.
The dates are the 2nd – 8th of August, if you are interested please email Craig Robinson at craig.robinson@leeds.gov.uk
